Looking for a solution - LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Just purchased this phone. I purchased it from newegg and a vendor called Newcellphone.
newegg /p/23B-0007-001F1?Item=9SIAMJ2AMP6452
I am looking to online it with tmobile in United States but want to get rid of all the bloatwear. I called LG to see if they have an image I could use to format this phone but they suggested rooting the phone, surprisingly.
Can anyone guide me on what they think the best course of action would be to accomplish this?

What phone model is it? A v50 from t mobile? Bloat ware guides are all over xda. Just use adb to uninstall the packages which you can find the name of with app inspector. You can only root if you have the European model.

Thank you for the response.
Yes it is a v50 from Korea. So I am looking for ABD uninstaller with app inspector?

Adb is a connection to your computer. You will find guides to use it and use app inspector to find the bloatware

I do have a question:
If your LG ticket is still open, and they suggested rooting the phone, can you ask them for the tools to root?
Haha. Worth a shot.

[Root] Alcatel One Touch Fierce

Alcatel Fierce is a low budget decent phone for $150 from Tmobile. Checkout gsmarena or phonearena for specs. I just got one rooted using Motochopper.
Phone : Alcatel Fierce
Driver: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/usbdriver.html
Root tool: motochopper - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
requirement; must have drivers and adb working. also enable developer mode by going into settings >about phone and click 7 times on build number. then when developer mode is enabled, select usb debugging. you can verify by connecting phone and run "adb devices" command.
once u have all the tools, unzip motochopper file and use run.bat file. you will get an install prompt on the phone. make sure to proceed with that otherwise run.bat file will stay still in the middle of the process.
hope it helps. motochopper confirmed working on this phone.
You are the man!
Thank you!!!

Sorry...I can't answer your unlocking question. However, did you use the OP's method for rooting or did you use the E root method mentioned by darkmash?
Thanks,
darkmash, thanks for your tip. I didn't know about the other tool. if you have a link to the tool, please share.

glad motochopper worked for you. all credits go to the developer.
regarding unlocking, i have no answer. this phone just came out. so you will probably find the unlock code on ebay in a while. or if you have tmobile service or if your friend has tmobile service, you can have them call tmobile and request a code.
So I just picked this phone up on prepay and I must say, for $149.99 you cannot really get much better. Rooting was easy and quick, thanks OP. Anyone know if there is a recovery or custom ROM in the works anywhere? I'm thinking this phone will not get any development but, one can hope.
rooting the fierce
I rooted mine with( framaroot) ...oneclick root for the fierce...download to phone and click on it..simple...make sure to use the "borimir" exploit for the fierce..you can download straight to phone, no need of a pc...do a google search on framaroot for download links.
Pre-pay to regular service
This may not be the right place to ask this, but I'm thinking about getting this phone for my parents. We have regular t-mobile service but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing my plans so I was thinking about picking it up as a pre-pay phone. If I get that, will I be able to insert a normal t-mobile sim into it or will I have to root/unlock the phone? Thanks!

The Motochopper app worked great. I was able to root my phone. I have tried to get WiFi tether by Treve to wok but keep getting MSS error. I have tried all the suggestions, but to no avail. I have been using PDANet, and am able to hard tether, but not WiFi...which is fine by me, I am still able to use the internet connection. I have also tried to find custom roms, but no one seem to have them. I have checked clockwork, TWRP, and CyanogenMod, and a few others I cannot think of, but no custom roms seem to be available yet. Motochopper comes with superuser.apk. I was able to switch to SuperSU but had to leave superuser.apk installed until after I gave superuser permission, then SuperSU asked me to uninstall. It worked. It still did not help with the WiFi though. Any ideas?

As a former GM for the local T-Mo Retail store, I can tell you that any* T-Mobile (or Simple Mobile) SIM will work in any T-Mobile branded phone right out of the box. No extra configuration needed.
*As long as it's the physical same size (eg SIM vs Micro SIM).

hello goodnight recently acquired this phone, but I can not release it is with T mobile company and buy in mexico, is there any way to make the unlock?

Boost Mobile Moto G Questions

1) I'm aware of the Verizon version of the Moto G being a ***** to root but what about the Boost Mobile version? Does anyone know if that Towelroot app can root it? I have a Macbook so I'm kinda screwed if it can't.
2) I also read some comment about an app being able to unlock bootloaders somewhere. Can anyone confirm if this works on the Boost Mobile Moto G? It doesn't matter to me personally but it may to anyone who stumbles across this post. Also, what is that app called? I only want to use it as a wifi only device, which leads me to my next question.
3) CAN it be used as a wifi only device? I know with the Verizon one it "requires" activation but you can easily bypass it. Does that same method to bypass it work with the Boost Mobile version?
4) Say I do root the Boost Mobile Moto G. If I uninstalled Activation.apk (or whatever it is on the Moto G. It was that on my currently deceased Galaxy Victory 4G LTE), would that make me have to only bypass activation that first time (barring it doesn't "have to" be activated)? If I ever did want to activate it I'd just flash the stock rom, which leads to another question.
5) Does it have to be unlocked to install a custom recovery? If that app doesn't unlock it I'm kinda screwed there too again for just me having a Macbook. Well not immediately screwed but in the future. Kitkat is fine for now but we all know things aren't good enough when things get better in the future.
6) Currently what is the highest android version the Boost Mobile Moto G can update to? I *think* 4.4.2 but I don't know. Is it stable enough for daily use like wifi working fine and things like that? Also, I saw somewhere the Boost Mobile Moto G is getting Android L can anyone confirm that?
7) The least important question but does anyone know if Perk TV runs smoothly on it? Perk TV has these issues about only running smoothly on some Android devices and roms. It ran perfect on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 on 4.1.2 but it literally can't run 5 minutes on a 4.2.2 rom that I found on it...
*Note* Whoever sees this doesn't have to answer every question, just what you know would be much appreciated. I want to know a lot because I see it on Amazon for only $79.99 and it seems like a steal
I'll keep it TL;DR.
1. Yes. Boost Mobile one can be root and bootloader can be unlockable, etc. Search Moto G forums how to do it...
2. ^ Go here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
3. YES. Don't need to be on service.
4. ^ No need to uninstall any apk to use as Wi-Fi only.
5. Yes. Re-read 1,2. Unlocked to install custom recovery, etc.
6. Idk.... No need?
7. Idk.... No need?
8. 4.4.2 for Slow Boost Mobile Update (JK). Android 4.4.4 for Boost Mobile flashed to Verizon (Optional, You can flash service to Page Plus, too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681166). Android 4.4.4 for the Verizon Moto G version.
9. Idk... Don't use that.
Post should be in 'Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting'. I Owned the Boost Mobile Moto G, flashed to Verizon Android 4.4.4, using Page Plus for service (It's cheap plans for people like me, whom don't talk much). Kthnxbi.
Thanks but there's still some stuff

1) Thanks for confirming it can be rooted but I'm still wondering about if it can with Towelroot. I will search around on the forums about it but from what I've seen in the past most android things like rooting and custom recovery can only be done on Windows, not Macbook.
2) Thanks for the link. Motorolla actually helping you unlock your device is great. I guess no need to try that app.
3 and 4) Thank God it can be wifi only from default. That alone makes it worth the $10 more it costs on Amazon for the Verizon one and root is great too.
5) I thought it had to be unlocked for custom recovery but I've never had a sim card phone so I wasn't exactly sure.
6 and 7) I sound so stupid. I forgot Odin and Odin 3 is only for Samsung...
8) Well is there a big difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4? I've never flashed a device to a different carrier but I could try here if/when I get the Boost Mobile Moto G.
9) Many don't so I don't an answer for that question from anyone.

I can confirm towelroot dose not work on this boost Mobile device. Tried it, and it just reboots and do sent root it. Just a tip. If you are going yo buy this phone get s otg drive from eBay. Most are like $20. There is no SD card support. 4.4.2 is the highest bit email Ed boost when we are going to get 4.4.4. I'll update you on that later but other than that, the user above answer Ed your questions. I'm a moto g user do yeah he's right.

Damn then I really don't know how I'm going to root it... Do you know if framaroot works on it? I looked at a rooting guide for it and it says it's for Windows so if no app can root it then I don't know what I'm going to do regarding that. I guess I'll do a lot of Googling. I am guessing there's a program to flash custom recovery for Motorolla phones like Odin for Samsung. I've never had a Motorolla phone so I really don't know much about any of this stuff yet. I'll start tomorrow. I need to go back to sleep. I never even heard of an otg drive until your post. I actually saw a 16GB one on Amazon for about $8.50. I'm guessing you can put an sd card into it? And if you can do the files on it show in Root Browser and other similar apps like it does for a built in sd card slot?
I have so much to learn...

Otg USB flash drives dont need SD card slots. Just plug them in and that's all. You need to plug it in to your PC to unlock it first then root it. Otherwise you won't be able to root.

Root for LG Escape 3? (Cricket)

I have between trying to obtain root with my LG Escape 3 (LG-K373) from Cricket. I was able to get root temporarily with Kingroot, but then my phone restarts itself a minute later and root is gone. Just wondering if anyone else had rooted this phone and could provide some insight. Thanks so much!

There's no permanent root...yet. Kingroot will eventually brick your phone! And if you unroot now, you probably won't be able to install any updates, it will say this device is suspected of rooting. Warranty voided!

With the lg devices dont we need a modified boot img? Something similar to what Messi2050 did for the lg stylo plus (metro). Im actually a sales rep for Cricket Wireless (and the escape 3 *k7* just went on a new promo, $20 with a port) So this would be awesome, i mite even grab one. Just got the lg Aristo so itd be cool to see hope in the modifed boot img for a similar device. Also with temp root you can run terminal emulator amd replace kinguser with super su, also isnt there a systemless root?

Root for Verizon Prepaid Galaxy j7?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a root method for the Samsung Galaxy j7 Verizon's 2017 edition (SM-J727VPP). Is it even possible? I read that the bootloader for verizon phones are locked so you can't root them. Is this correct?
Thanks.
I'm on the same boat. I love the phone but not sure how to root it. Anyone know if the other root methods work for this phone?
I just bought this phone as well. Anyone dedicated into developing an unlock method for the bootloader and custom recovery would greatly be appreciated.

I haven't tried on this one yet (scared) but with Verizon's bootloader I know that its pretty much permanently locked.
... at the very least for now,
Meaning, it MAY be possible to get root BUT that would b where the road ended... no custom roms.... etc.
Root better than nothing.

I tried the link in the video but it takes you to a 4shared link that seems kind of spammy so I searched for the file on Google and found it eventually about to try it on the PC right now..
Tried it its a jtag app that need a box to flash firmware

I have the stock firmware for j727VPP, the QB2 bootloader version to be exact, which is stock. It's Odin flushable , if u need it for any reason restore or w.e let me know n send me an email @ [email protected] . Also, Verizon just came out with a update for j727vpp which changed the bootloader to QF3. Do not update, otherwise going back to QB2 will be near impossible and if anyone does come out with a root then it will be for the QB2, not EF3 bootloader. But, if u already did update and need the EF3 firmware for restore purposes I have that as well, except it is in a ENC4 format, which is a RAW format for firmware. U will need to decrypt it with 7Zip to Tar or Md5 in order to be able to flash it. Like i said email me - [email protected] and I'll provide u with whatever files u need.

Samsung j3 2017 root

Hey I'm new to the world of rooting. Wanna do it to get past the network tethering thing. I pay for hotspot. But even planet didn't stop my 8gigs from being used up. So I've started searching for how to keep going with my hotspot.
I have no idea how to do anything past basics. So the more detailed and lamen the answers the easier.
I guess to root the Samsung j3 with nougat on it is first get past unlocking it.
Any helpful tip to get the unlock code for free?
Next is rooting it. A lot of techno babble baffled me all night long. So yeah that's what I'm trying to get help with.
Thanks for the time you guys may spend

I also have a Samsung J3 running Nougat that I would like to root. Mine is a Samsung J3 Unlocked (SM-327U) running Android 7.0 with May 1, 2017 patches. I've enabled the "OEM unlock" under Developer Options but I can't find a tutorial or TWRP image that supports this version. I want to install SuperSU but I'm stuck without TWRP support. I've already tried both OneClickRoot and Kingo, both of which state that the device is unsupported. I'm assuming that under the hood they are just scripting out the process but still using the same Odin/TWRP/etc process.
Any ideas? Is there a way to translate the changes necessary from another version of the J3 (e.g. SM-327YZ) to this firmware or are we stuck waiting for supported to be added to these (awesome) tools?
Thank you!
After unlock
After the phone is unlocked it should be easier to root it. I have a few more days in my service cycle till I reach the phone active 90 days to get the free unlock. After that I'll start trying to figure out how to flash it again

Model-No is SM-J330F/DS.
Is it just me or is every single root-method actually a fake for this device?

After the phone is unlocked it should be easier to root it. I have a few more days in my service cycle till I reach the phone active 90 days to get the free unlock. After that I'll start trying to figure out how to flash it again

My J727T is carrier unlocked because i bought it outright at full retail. I dont know how an carrier unlocked device would change anything. Our bootloader is locked which has nothing to do with being carrier unlocked...
Sorry for Hijacking Thread...
Maybe I will buy SM-J330F in Germany as it is cheap... 200 Euro...
and seems no Fingerprint Sensor. :good:
For Germany DBT I found latest Firmware:
Code:
J330FXXU1[B]AQH2[/B]
Please.
Can I root SM-J330F
If yes, how?
Maybe somebody can please give Link to Instruction...
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards
if you want to bypass the 8gb hotspot limit you have to use foxfi and enable proxy in the app. if you set it correctly on your pc or gaming console it will not use data. no root is required anymore. i downloaded a full game on my ps4 using my hotspot and it hasn't used any data except my normal data and that doesn't matter since i have unlimited lte data.

I also have a Samsung J3 running Nougat that I would like to root. Mine is a Samsung J3 Unlocked (SM-327U) running Android 7.0 with May 1, 2017 patches. I've enabled the "OEM unlock" under Developer Options but I can't find a tutorial or TWRP image that supports this version. I want to install SuperSU but I'm stuck without TWRP support. I've already tried both OneClickRoot and Kingo, both of which state that the device is unsupported. I'm assuming that under the hood they are just scripting out the process but still using the same Odin/TWRP/etc process.
Any ideas? Is there a way to translate the changes necessary from another version of the J3 (e.g. SM-327YZ) to this firmware or are we stuck waiting for supported to be added to these (awesome) tools?
Thank you!

I successfully rooted my J327U witb Chainfire's CF Autoroot (the T-Mobile variant J327T) via Odin.
After Root I installed Flashfire ( also by xda-developer Chainfire). I'm still playing with the app's various features but so far it is pretty awesome definitely an app I'll be making a donation to this next paycheck) you'll be able to make a backup of your device with it. Hope this helps.

It wont work. The tmobile variant and even the metropcs variant is bootloader locked therefore you cannot flash anything. I have a metropcs variant and everyone else in another thread has also. Me and a few others have tried for months to get root and it failed miserably. I suggest buying the sm-j327u. You can get it on samsung.com
Hello guys!
I've spent my day trying to root my J330FN without any succes.. I've found an option in developer menu to allow OEM to be unlocked.
I only need root, not custom recovery...
Please do you have a suggestion?
Thanks

Rooting shouldn't be a problem for this device
Post some specifics on what you have tried and the reason for failure.
I should be able to get something up if you post the details above and your firmware details.

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ this should help. the firmware for the device is here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-J330FN/ make sure to choose your carrier along with the correct country. the cf autoroot for the j330f is on the firmware.mobi site it should work if you use odin. if it fails to flash or something goes wrong you should have your stock firmware.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply back to you, I live right in the middle of the northbay California winecountry wildfires that devistated Santa Rosa, CA. so it's been somewhat crazy here.
The CF Autoroot that I used on my J327U is for the T-Mobile (J327T). I'm not sure if they started locking down their bootloaders, so you'll have to perform due dilligence on that end. If you do decide to give it a go, make sure you enable USB debugging and OEM unlock under developer options.

I used the same app and used proxy but just saying if you use your ps4 (setup for the proxy on pdanet or foxfi) it will only work for soo long because depending on what your doing on the internet with your ps4 it may or may not count data. I have past 8gb on my hotspot and i mostly just updated games and my ps4 system software and watched videos on youtube.
J330FN (dont know if its DS variant)
I have tried the CF-AUTOROOT website and can't for the life of me, to get it to work.
I dont want to double post, so here is my reply in the firmware.mobi thread: ==>Click here <==
If i figure it out, or someone has succesfully helped me in rooting this monster of a phone, i will post back to help others.
